Nor in Simms is probably the best of the three brothers but his peak passes some time back.

So he and the Melbourne bench warmer are going to make HKR world beaters?

Is the bench warmer a proven quantity?

LOL, when does any team start training with a complete squad before the new year!

Tinkering to the last moment is part of it.

The core is there, where as by your reckoning HKR are still half a team light!

Every year the same chikin lickin people come on and kindly explain to us all just why the era of Trinity is about to end. Well, thanks.

NEWSFLASH! We already know the problems facing the club, we don't live in a bubble, well not that kind of bubble. Despite plenty of valid excuses we all know that on occasions some players failed to do their best as did the coaches as did the BOD. They have all admitted mistakes were made, the results clearly showed that on occasion they were.

So what, that was last year, move on for heaven's sake. This is a new season, fresh slate, some new players, some players returning, some good youngsters keen to make a mark. Above even that there is a Coach who even to the most demented and negative of minds they can't possibly believe that he wants to repeat last year, why would anybody think he hasn't learned some valuable lesson?

Every season is a fresh start and anyone who's supported any team for any length of time knows that things change and a few bad years are often followed by a few good ones. Sometimes its a few key signings but mostly it's a positive response from the players already at the club.

As fans, our job is to support the club and on the day the players, nothing more. We can have opinions on matches and players but other than that nobody on here has the inside knowledge to comment further. You can speculate wildly if you must but any attempt to add a layer of knowledge onto that is just laughable.

We don't know the club's plans, we don't know the final team, we don't know the tactics and training and above all, we don't know the mentality in the camp. So, in the same way, I'm not going to predict a double-winning season for Trinity then can the doom-mongers cut out the nonsense regarding relegation and our supposed inferiority to Leigh.

Thanks and enjoy the 2021 season, not like you can do anything to change it.

There has to be an element of sitting on any brass that we may have earmarked for new and additional players.
Without any certainty of spectators being allowed in for the start of the new season, it makes financial sense to keep hold of the pennies.
Bringing new players in a little later than usual isn't ideal but, the season doesn't start until March (it was the end of Jan last season) and it's yet another challenge for the players and staff and the club.

Everyone starts on 0 points so, it's all to play for.

Clean slate for everyone.
I do hope that any money is spent wisely and not on several players for one position.....

How ever you look at it they have strengthened more than us and thay where good to beat us last season.ill stand by what i said leigh been promoted will make things tougher on us they currently have a good squad and they will only improve this even more personally think its gonna be a battle between us leigh hull kr znd maybe salford depending on how they react to watson leaving.

Where do you get strengthening from, I don't get it. You have no idea whether these players will do a job, you're just assuming on reputation.

Ditto, you're assuming that last year has any relevance to this, it has sod all to do with it.

I find your attitude a little odd, to be honest. Why do you expect the players to perform when you've already written them off, that's the sort of defeatism we tend to take the micky out of the French for, are you French?

Truth is some fans just love the misery and the worst thing that could happen to them is if the team won something. They seem to think criticism is positive, well it rarely is and it absolutely isn't when a ball has not yet been passed.

We are a potential top-six team end of. If we fail it's because we didn't try hard enough not because we didn't have the players. We should be competing with the top teams as we were up until 2019.

Anyway, time will tell.

And the last 2 seasons we have finished second to bottom fact so no matter how you look at it we need to improve.where do i get hull kr have improved this is based on the calibre of players brought in has to those who have been released yes based on names on paper as to performces but your basing our chances on players on paper opposed to past performances (8 wins in around 40)

I am not in anyway giving criticism towards the players not in anyway in fact i hope that the likes of jordan max brad continue there recent developments and improvments and hope that the topous lynes and millers get back to the form they where in 3 to 4 years ago and feel mc and co are doing a great job in been able build a team in light of this pandemic where in.also as different to what you think i want i want nothing more than to see a successful teamout there on the pitchĺ although i do find you odd that you believe that a team that as struggled to gain a win to be able to be top 6 if not higher but the team who finished what q or 2 wins below us cant and wond wont pose a threat. . Im more than realistic and until we get through this pandemic staying in the league is my main hope anything else is a bonus after all we are having to lower our playing budget and as great as mc is hes not a ken davey

Also am i french hahah first time ive had that thrown at me born any manygates raisd and nred in this merrie city....

Errrm we finished 9th in 2019 with Hudds, KR and London all below us, the only "FACT" is you are wrong and not a supporter of Trinity

And what do thd record books say spose on your theory saintts shouldnt be classed as champions then as it was a wierd season.

We have won v super league opponents 8 out 39 so im been more than realistic that we we could be in a relagation battle i sincerely hope not but been realistic that doesnt make me not a fan like zn idiot seems to think or its not me putting team or players down

No, because Saints had something to play for, we didn't, other than a bit of pride, which we got back to a fair degree. HTH
